remount / as rw on esxi5.0

[zbarnard]

is it possible to remount the filesystem as read/write?

i thought i could do something like:

# mount / -o remount,rw

-sh: mount: not found

not sure what the mount command is in esxi5.0

trying to work around the following:

/dev/disks # partedUtil getptbl "/vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0:2"

remount is possible did you try esxcfg-volume -l

and esxcfg-volume -M <uuid>.
